Journal Article
Intellectual History in the 1980s: From History of Ideas to History of Meaning
1981
Overview
Recent trends have led to a decline in intellectual history as a distinct discipline. However, intellectual history has gained a new importance through the insights it offers into many areas of study. Many recent works cannot be classified as intellectual history per se, yet owe much to the history of ideas -- for example, Keith Thomas's Religion and the Decline of Magic: Studies in Popular Beliefs in Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century England (London, 1971). Unlike traditional intellectual history, the new approach is characterized not by its sources but by the questions it poses, & by its willingness to consider the creation of meaning by elite groups. The role of linguistics in the study of intellectual history has received little attention, but should prove of great importance. B. Annesser.
